All contractors in Rhode Island must register with the Contractors Registration Board to repair or remodel single-family to four-family dwellings within the state.

Contractors in the state of Rhode Island must complete 5 hours of continuing education prior to registering.

Registered contractors must obtain a general liability insurance policy, but are not required to carry workers' compensation. It is a good idea to only hire contractors with general liability and workers' compensation insurance, request copies of certificates for both policies before any work begins.

The BuildZoom score is based on a number of factors including the contractor's license status, insurance status, verified work history, standing with local consumer interest groups, verified reviews from other BuildZoom users and self-reported feedback from the contractor.

When it comes to major construction work or even minor alterations to your home, hiring the wrong contractor could result in incomplete or defective work. You may even find yourself dealing with huge liability claims. BuildZoom does the homework for you and helps you hire the right contractor.

Before hiring a contractor in Rhode Island, be sure to get at least 3 detailed bids.
